The Ningzhou Army fought very beautifully in the first battle.

As a general, Li Shuo not only predicted in advance that the imperial guards might attack the camp, but also made an almost perfect response. In just a few hours, the two Zuoying imperial guards in Zhechong Mansion were defeated!

You should know that when Li Xin and Ye Ming led troops to the west, crossed Motianling and attacked Jiangyou Pass, they brought only three Zhechong Mansions. The quality of the two Zhechong Mansions in the Imperial Guards at the Zuoying Camp is even better than the Western Expedition Army he led back then.

In this case, the two Zhechong Mansions were shattered at once, and naturally, the contribution of the firearms was inseparable from this, but they were inseparable from Li Shuo's calm response. After this battle, I dare not say anything else, at least all the Hanzhou troops, including Mu Ying, had no gossip.

After the Ningzhou army fought this battle, it did not advance to the capital, but rested on the spot. On the one hand, it was waiting for Li Xin's next order, and on the other hand, it was also the result of cleaning up the battle and the next move of watching the capital.

The capital city has always been conservative in its attitude towards the Southwest Army. It can be foreseeable that after this "test", the court may have firmly determined the idea of ​​defending the city and will no longer send troops out of the city to confront the Southwest Army head-on.

Two Zhechong Mansions were beaten into pieces by the Southwest Army in one night!

Last year, when the Xianbei tribe invaded the border of the Great Jin Dynasty, it took almost half a year to open Jimen Pass. At the same time, the Xianbei people themselves paid a heavy price. The Southwest Army destroyed a quarter of the combat power of the Zhenbei Army in one night. Not to mention anything else, Ningzhou General Li Shuo was enough to become a famous general in this battle. Regardless of whether it was a bad reputation or a good reputation in history books in the future, it was a foregone conclusion to leave a name in history.

After this battle, the panic atmosphere in the capital became stronger and stronger, and many dignitaries had begun to try their best to escape from the capital.

Even the ministers in the court felt a little scared after seeing this situation, and were worried that when the southwest rebels would invade the capital and change their rulers.

Some fencemen have begun to find ways to protect themselves or be ready to surrender to the rebels outside the city at any time. Smarter officials have already made an appointment with Ye Lin, the Marquis of Ningling, and have begun to show goodwill to this Marquis of Ye.

However, there was still no news in Weiyang Palace.

A small group of people standing at the peak of the power of the Great Jin Dynasty, from the prime ministers in the Shangshutai to the nine ministers in the court, have entered the palace to meet the emperor more than once. However, the emperor always said one thing, asking the veteran generals to be fully responsible for defending the city. The emperor himself not only did not make any decisions on this matter, but instead focused on the generals as prison and often stayed in the Weiyang Palace for several consecutive days.

The prime ministers at the Shangshutai knew more or less why the emperor was in the prison every day, but even if they knew about it, these prime ministers still didn't understand it very much. In their opinion, what they needed to do now is to negotiate with the Southwest Army, rather than to create the Southwest firearm at this moment.

Even if the emperor can really make it out, it is too late to go through time.

Therefore, several prime ministers went to the palace one after another, asking the emperor to send envoys to negotiate with the southwest rebels, but the emperor never paid any attention.

It’s not that Emperor Yuan Zhao had backbone, but that he had sent Ye Lin to see Li Xin more than ten days ago. Emperor Yuan Zhao had no choice but to agree to the request made by Li Xin, so there was no need to continue the negotiation.

However, after several prime ministers wrote letters, the emperor agreed to send envoys out of the city to negotiate. However, he did not expect anything about this, and he still thought about getting the same firearm from the southwest.

……………………

On the other side, General Li, dressed in black, sat by the bed of a big man. Seeing the big man slowly woke up, Li Xin also breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled in silence: "Old brother has finally woken up. If something happens to you, I can't even talk to my nephews in your family in the future."

It was naturally Hou Jingde who woke up slowly.

Hou Jingde has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his body is so strong that he may be inferior to a powerful general like Ye Mao. It is unlikely that he has fainted for so long, but after all, he is old and is exploded by the thunder in close proximity, which makes him fainted directly by the huge impact.

At this time, he was not only shocked, but because the distance between the sky thunder was too close, he also had many external injuries caused by pottery pieces, but at this time he had already bandaged it with white cloth.

After he woke up, he first looked left and right, and then saw the person sitting by his bed. Hou Jingde struggled to sit up, but his whole body was in severe pain. After frowned, he lay down again.

Seeing this, Li Xin shook his head at him and said, "The old brother's bones are a little displaced, and there are many external injuries on his body. It is better not to move at this moment. I can rest assured to recover from my injuries."

The average life expectancy in this era is only forty or fifty years. Age of Hou Jingde can be considered an old man. If an old man of the same age as him is, he will probably have to live for eight or nine out of ten years, which means that Hou Jingde will be stronger, otherwise he will lose half his life if he doesn't die this time.

Hou Jingde looked around several times before confirming where he was. He lay on the bed, looked at Li Xin deeply, and smiled bitterly: "The last time I met Brother Li, it was the time when I was in Taikang. I didn't expect that you and my brothers met again, and it turned out to be this kind of love."

Li Xin shook his head helplessly: "If I had known that it was the old brother, you would lead the army, I would have told my subordinates not to hurt you no matter what."

He pulled Hou Jingde's sleeve and sighed: "I'm afraid the old man from Yulinwei was the only one left behind in the old man."

Hou Jingde can only lie down now, and his whole body hurts when he moves. He moves his body, endures the pain in his body, and sweats on his face.

He sighed as well.

"At that time... Brother Li, you took the brothers of Yulinwei to participate in the palace transformation. After the incident, most of the brothers of Yulinwei became officials. At that time, the brothers of Yulinwei recognized you, Brother Li. What everyone thought was that in the future, with Brother Li, you will take care of us, those of us who came from Yulinwei might be able to gain a future, but unexpectedly, in just over ten years, things became like this."

Speaking of this, Hou Jingde shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly: "Now I understand that your brother Li's ambition is far more than the leader of the Yulinwei family. You want too much."

Li Xin shook his head slightly.

"Old brother, if there is a way out in the capital, I am still in the capital now, and I will be my Marquis of Jing'an. Why would I take the whole family and do such a headless business?"

"People are forced out."

General Li sighed: "When I was working under my old brother, how could I have thought that I would be today?"

Hou Jingde was silent for a while and asked, "What are you going to deal with me?"

Li Xin shook his head slightly.

"Old brother, please rest assured to recover from your injuries. When your injuries are cured, I will send someone to send you back. From beginning to end, you have never seen me, and you will not be charged with collusion with a thief."

Hou Jingde looked at Li Xin silently and sighed slowly.

"Brother Li, I am just a matter of loyalty to the emperor, you..."

Li Xin smiled casually.
